Please do not forget that we have a campaign for the new year!! Please see above and bring your friends.   Today, it being the first post of the new year, I thought […]

Well, I am sure that you are all planning the year-end holiday these days. It is a busy time and it takes time to get organized. I also think that many of you are thinking about how to study and how to improve your English ability. Well, here are a few ideas: Movies, TV and radio. Listen, listen and then listen more. Listening is a great way to improve your English. If you do it actively and think about what you are hearing, it will help you greatly. Reading! Reading exposes you to phrases, patterns and vocabulary. You can see patterns and new words in context and learn not only […]

Could you get them? Here are the answers for you. 1. ZERO CONDITIONAL If it rains, I bring my umbrella. 《IF + […]

It is Halloween week and I am sure that many of the children and adults in Tokyo are looking forward to the events on Halloween day. Everyone have a great time and be careful out there.   Last week’s assignment was a difficult one! Could you get these proverbs? You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. – When you try to do something great, you’ll probably make a few people annoyed or angry. Don’t worry about those people; just focus on the good results. A watched pot never boils. – If something takes time to finish, don’t watch it too closely because it will seem like it’s […]
